Precision auto setup tailors sound to your room

This receiver also features Audyssey MultEQ®, a sophisticated auto-calibration system that helps you get the most accurate home theater sound possible. Watch a video on how Audyssey MultiEQ improves sound in your room.

The SR5004 uses the supplied microphone to analyze sound from up to six different listening positions, then automatically adjusts level, equalization, and delay settings for each of your speakers. The result is accurate response across a wide listening area instead of just a single "sweet spot," so everyone in the room can enjoy precisely balanced home theater sound.

Three HDMI inputs plus 1080p video upconversion

The SR5004's 1080p-compatible HDMI inputs let you hook up three high-definition sources for easy switching. And it makes the most of your older non-HD sources by upconverting the video to 1080p. This lets you send all your video sources to your TV via a single-cable digital connection, simplifying hookup and ensuring the best picture quality possible for every source in your system.

Multi-room music and more

Flexible multi-room/multi-source output lets you enjoy a surround sound movie in your main room while a housemate listens to stereo music in a second room. You can even send audio from a digital source to a third room via an optical digital output, for playback on another home theater receiver. Add an XM Direct 2 package to enjoy satellite radio, including XM's HD surround music channels. Or connect an optional SiriusConnect home tuner kit to enjoy SIRIUS satellite programming. You can also get your iPod® into the mix by adding Marantz's handy control dock.

Neural Surround: Neural Surround has been adopted by XM
Satellite Radio for digital radio broadcasts of XM HD Surround recordings
and live events in surround sound. Neural Surround employs psychoacoustic
frequency domain processing which allows delivery of a more detailed sound
stage with superior channel separation and localization of audio elements.

Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height:
Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height is designed to
more effectively use existing program material when height channel speaker
outputs are present. Dolby Pro Logic IIz Height can be used to upmix a
variety of sources from movies and music, but are particularly well-suited to up-mix game content.

Music: The Pro LogicIIx-Music mode creates a rich and
enveloping ambience from stereo sources such as CDs. In this mode, the
SR5004 includes three controls to fine tune this sound-field.

Panorama: Panorama wraps the sound of the front left and
right speakers around you, for an exciting perspective.

Dimension: This feature adjusts the sound-field either
towards the front or towards the rear of your system. This can be
useful to help achieve a more suitable balance from all the speaker
with certain recordings.

Center Width: The Center Width feature allows you to
gradually spread the center channel sound into the front left and
right speakers.

Game: This mode restores the impact low-frequency surround
effects by routing them to the system's subwoofer.

control circuit and bass management configuration are bypassed for
full-range frequency response and the purist audio reproduction.

Pure Direct: The Pure Direct mode further reduces sources of
noise in addition to effect of the Source Direct mode, by blocking output
from the video jacks and turning of the unit's display.

Stereo: This mode bypasses all surround processing. In stereo
program sources, the left and right channels play normally when PCM audio or
analog stereo is input. With Dolby Digital and DTS sources, the 5.1 channels
are converted to two channels stereo. 96kHz PCM source material can be
played back in stereo mode.

Multi-Channel Stereo (Music or Movie): This mode is used to create a
wider, deeper and more natural soundstage from two channel source material.
This is done by feeding the left channel signal to both left front and left
surround speakers and the right channel signal to both right front and right
surround speaker. Additionally, the center channel reproduces a mix of the
right and left channel.

Auto MultEQ Setup: This Audyssey MultEQ technology
adapted by this receiver provides the best listening environment for multiple
listeners. The Auto MultEQ Setup feature of the SR5004 measures sound
characteristics of your speaker system and room where the receiver is used and
automatically optimizes settings. To do this, the Auto Setup feature measures a
test tone emitted by each channel in a maximum of 6 listening positions, using
the supplied microphone. The measurement results are analyzed using an original
algorithm and environmental settings are made to improve the sound
characteristics of your listening area.

Note: If you prefer, you can manually
setup up your speaker configurations. You can select the size and presence of
each speaker, the distance of each speaker from your normal listening position,
and the level of each speaker in your system.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ:
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorating sound quality as volume
is decreased by taking into account human perception and room acoustics.
Audyssey Dynamic EQ works in tandem with Audyssey MultEQ to provide
well-balanced sound for every listener at any volume level.

Audyssey Dynamic EQ Adjust:
Audyssey Dynamic EQ is referenced to the
standard film mix level of 85dB SPL for -20 dBFS. Due, to the lack of standard
outside the film industry, the film reference level may not be appropriate when
listening to other material. Audyssey Dynamic EQ Adjust provides three offsets
from the film level reference (5dB, 10dB, or 15dB) that can be selected when the
mix level of the content is not within the standard.

Audyssey Dynamic Volume:
Audyssey Dynamic Volume solves the problem of large variations in volume level
between television programs, commercials, and between the soft and loud passages
of movies. Audyssey Dynamic EQ is integrated into Dynamic Volume so that as the
playback volume is adjusted automatically, the perceived bass response, tonal
balance, surround impression, and dialogue clarity remain the same. The amount
of compression can be set to an of the following three levels - Light, Medium,
or High.

HT-EQ: The tonal balance of a film soundtrack will be
excessively bright and harsh when played back over audio equipment in the home.
This is because film soundtracks were designed to be played back in large movie
theater environments. Activating the receiver's HT-EQ feature when watching a
film made from movie theaters corrects this and restores the correct tonal
balance.

Surround Channel Level: The channel level can be
independently set for Multi-Channel Stereo, CSII and other modes. You can adjust
the Center level, Surround level and Surround Back level from -12 to +12 in 0.5
dB increments. The Subwoofer level can be adjusted from -18 to +12 in 0.5 dB
increments.

LFE Level: This function selects the output level of the LFE signal
included in the Dolby Digital signal or the DTS signal. You can select from 0 to
-10 dB.

Night Mode: Useful at night or when loud noise is undesirable, this
mode compresses the dynamic range, making it easier to hear quieter audio
content without increasing the overall volume of your system. Night Mode is only
effective for Dolby Digital content.

M-DAX: This function makes up for lost audio content in MP3
or AAC sources during playback. It can be set to High or Low.

Zone System: The SR5004's Zone System mode
allows the same audio source or different audio sources to be heard in other
rooms other than where the receiver is installed. The Marantz AV receiver
features a Main Audio/Video Zone (Main), a second analog Audio Only Zone (Zone
A) and a digital Audio Only Zone (Zone B).
The Main Zone contains 7.1-channel playback of your audio/video gear in your
main entertainment room. The Audio Only Zone A allows analog audio playback of another
audio source connected to the receiver in another room of your home via
left/right RCA audio output connections to a separate amplifier. The Audio Only
Zone B allows digital audio playback of another digital audio source connected
to the receiver (through coaxial or optical) in another room of your home via an optical digital output
connected to a separate amplifier. The SR5004 AV
receiver's Surround Back Speaker outputs can be assigned to Zone A so you can
power a set of speakers in another room of your home without the use of a
separate amplifier. You must turn off the Surround Back channels of the
amplifier when using the receiver's multi-room speaker outputs, which will limit
you to 5.1 channels in your main room.

Bi-Amp Connection: A bi-amp connection is possible with
speakers that have two set of inputs by combining the Front A and Surround Back
speaker connections. This allows you to drive the treble and bass units with
separate channels amps, which enable better sound quality. The surround back
channels of the amplifier will need to be turned off to bi-amp your front
speakers. This configuration will limit your Home Theater to 5.1- channel.

Digital Inputs/Output: There are
2 coaxial digital inputs and
3 optical digital inputs (one on front). The inputs accept digital audio signals
from a compact disc, LD, DVD or other digital source component. There is also 1
optical digital output. The digital output can be connected to a CD or DVD
recorder; or can be used for a Zone B output.

Preamp Outputs: The SR5004 features Front left, Front right, Center,
Surround left, Surround right, Surround Back left, Surround Back right and
Subwoofer preamp outputs to connect the receiver to external power amplifiers.

left, Front right, Center, Surround left, Surround right, Surround Back left,
Surround Back right and Subwoofer) for connecting a DVD Audio player, Super
Audio CD multi-channel player, or other component that has a multi-channel port
so you can playback the audio with 5.1 channel or 7.1 channel surround sound. If
you will not be using the 7.1 channel input with a multi-channel decoder,
you can use the front and left inputs as an auxiliary input.

Speaker Terminals: The receiver has binding post speaker
terminals for the front A, front B, center, surround, and surround back speaker channels. The binding posts can accept bare wire, pin connectors, and
single banana plugs. The terminals are spaced too far apart for dual banana
plugs. The collar surrounding the binding post terminals prevent the use of
spade connectors.

on its front panel for connecting a pair of optional headphones. The unit's
speakers will automatically be turned off when a set of headphones are
connected.

AM/FM Tuner: The Marantz SR5004 features a built-in AM/FM
tuner which can automatically or manually store up to 60 AM/FM presets that can
be labeled and viewed in a channel list.

Front Panel Lock: You can lock all the controls on the front panel of
the unit, accept for the Power button, to prevent anyone else from changing the
settings on your receiver.

Dual Backup Memory: The receiver stores settings information in a
nonvolatile memory even when the main power supply is turned off. Using the Dual
Backup Memory function, you can write settings information to another memory
area to back up saved settings for recovery anytime as needed.

video inputs to obtain the color information (Y, Cb, Cr) directly from the
recorded DVD signal or other video component; and one component video output to
output the video signal directly into the matrix decoder of your television. By
sending the pure DVD component video signal directly, the DVD signal forgoes the
extra processing that normally would degrade the image. The result is vastly
increased image quality, with incredibly life like colors and crisp detail.

I/P Convert: The video circuit of the receiver is equipped
with an I/P conversion feature. When this feature is active, 480i analog video
signals input from a playback device can be converted to 480p and progressively
output to the component video or HDMI monitor out terminals on the SR5004.

Auto Lipsync Correction: Video signals may take longer to
process than audio signals depending on the connected video equipment. When the
